To Get Rid Of Your Man Boobs Fast

The most popular approach to getting rid of man boobs is doing lots of push-ups and lots of cardio. If you've tried this approach, then I hope you realize how ineffective it really is.

Now don’t get me wrong, both cardio and push-ups can play an important role in flattening out your chest, but when you put most of your effort on just these two exercises, you can easily end up over-training and experiencing a lot of fatigue, without getting very much in the way of results.

When it comes to losing man boobs, it isn't about how much exercise you do, how hard you push yourself, or how many training hours you put in. It’s all about training smart.

To lose your man boobs, it works best if you combine a good weight-training regime with the right type of cardio and a good diet.

Losing Man Boobs With Weight Training

  1. Firstly, they help you to grow muscles, which can help reduce the appearance of man boobs.
  2. More importantly, resistance training using weights, is known to boost testosterone levels in your body.
  3. Having more muscle mass increases your basal metabolic rate (BMR), which helps you to burn more fat at rest.
How much muscle you grow and how much testosterone your body releases depends on the level of resistance you use. The reason push-ups don’t work is because they don’t provide enough resistance. A better way to do push-ups would be to to do them while wearing a backpack full of weights. The studies suggest that you get the best testosterone releases when you lift a weight that’s heavy enough to just let you do around 3-4 sets of 6-12 reps. The secret is to stick to one to two GOOD chest exercises, and even things out with some good upper back exercises and one good leg exercise.

Blasting Away Chest Fat With Cardio

You can do high intensity interval training (HIIT) with any form of cardiovascular exercise, like running, swimming and cycling. All you do is push yourself at a fast pace for 30-90 seconds, then either rest or go slow for 30-90 seconds, then go at it again. It’s all about starting and stopping, just like doing multiple sets in a weight-training protocol. Start off with just one or two cycles, and gradually work your way up.

What’s The Best Diet For Losing Man Boobs?

One excellent dietary rule of thumb to follow for all man-boob sufferers, is to go on a low carbohydrate diet. Avoid both sugars and complex carbohydrate like rice, pasta, and anything containing flour – cakes, cookies, breads, breakfast cereals and the like. The only carbohydrate you really should be eating are fruits and vegetables.

For losing man boobs, it’s also important to watch what foods affect your estrogen and testosterone levels directly. Hormone-treated meat and dairy are known to increase your estrogen levels. You aught to watch your alcohol intake too, especially beer. Foods like nuts (especially Brazil nuts), avocados, oysters and organic beef are known to boost testosterone levels.
